I just noticed the PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING RESEARCH QUESTIONNAIRES sticky. 3 posts on page 1. 1 post on page 2. Seems like unintended fallout from this change, too. Sam's reply on page 2 in particular used to be on page 1, and is now not immediately visible to someone who reads that thread.

FWIW, in this example thread, the same situation goes correctly. The difference is (presumably) that here the second post was deleted only after the third post was made, while in the previous example I'm assuming that the second post was deleted before the third post was made.

Ah, this observation was most useful. I found where it was doing it incorrectly. Should now *hopefully* be working correctly! Those incorrect post numbers are also fixed now.

Something I notice is that the total number of replies are shown in the all forum view for a particular thread, rather than the number of non-deleted replies. This can be quite misleading, as it indicates that a thread may have replies, whereas those replies may have been deleted.

Should the forum view count of replies only include replies still visible?
